About your organizer

At Craft Cycling Tours, we believe the best cycling experiences go far beyond the ride. They’re about the people you meet, the roads you discover, and the stories shared over a cold beer at the end of the day.

Founded by lifelong friends Jason Lindgren and Jeff Thompson, our tours were inspired by an unforgettable trip in Spain during the Vuelta a España. We bring that same spirit to the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and Arizona, where riders enjoy some of the most beautiful and rewarding roads in the country.

Our philosophy is simple: Camaraderie, not Competition. Whether you ride with the group or at your own pace, every tour is designed to be welcoming and memorable. With small groups limited to ten riders, we handle the logistics—routes, meals, and support—so you can focus on riding, relaxing, and enjoying the journey.

Because at the end of the day, it’s about the people you ride with and the stories you share.

Ride hard. Eat well. Enjoy great beer.
